The Nations Judged
1 "In those days and at that time,when I restore the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem,
2 I will gather all nations
and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat. [a]
There I will enter into judgment against them
concerning my inheritance, my people Israel,
for they scattered my people among the nations
and divided up my land.
3 They cast lots for my people
and traded boys for prostitutes;
they sold girls for wine
that they might drink.
4 "Now what have you against me, O Tyre and Sidon and all you regions of Philistia? Are you repaying me for something I have done? If you are paying me back, I will swiftly and speedily return on your own heads what you have done. 5 For you took my silver and my gold and carried off my finest treasures to your temples. 6 You sold the people of Judah and Jerusalem to the Greeks, that you might send them far from their homeland.
7 "See, I am going to rouse them out of the places to which you sold them, and I will return on your own heads what you have done. 8 I will sell your sons and daughters to the people of Judah, and they will sell them to the Sabeans, a nation far away." The LORD has spoken.
9 Proclaim this among the nations:
Prepare for war!
Rouse the warriors!
Let all the fighting men draw near and attack.
10 Beat your plowshares into swords
and your pruning hooks into spears.
Let the weakling say,
"I am strong!"
11 Come quickly, all you nations from every side, and assemble there. Bring down your warriors, O LORD!
12 "Let the nations be roused;
let them advance into the Valley of Jehoshaphat,
for there I will sit
to judge all the nations on every side.
13 Swing the sickle,
for the harvest is ripe.
Come, trample the grapes,
for the winepress is full
and the vats overflow—
so great is their wickedness!"
14 Multitudes, multitudes
in the valley of decision!
For the day of the LORD is near
in the valley of decision.
15 The sun and moon will be darkened,
and the stars no longer shine.
16 The LORD will roar from Zion
and thunder from Jerusalem;
the earth and the sky will tremble.
But the LORD will be a refuge for his people,
a stronghold for the people of Israel.

Hi endtime- I see you're stirring things up on Joels blog! I'm going to read the Earthquake Resurection soon. I'll see how it meshes with Skofield. Keep puting the truth out there!

Ya, I can't help but get into the thick of things and encourage a search for truth. I had to challenge them to look directly at Skolfield's summary timeline at the end of Chapter 12 of TFP. I hyperlinked that chart right into one of my responses to Daveschatology. He seems to think that Lahay and Skolfield theories are complementary because they both say we are 'at the end'. BUT that is entirely untrue (as you know). Skolfield turns up-side down the Lahayian theory of the anti-Christ and the 70th week.
I love the fact that Grumpy is encouraged to search deeper. Interesting how the others are so supportive of Grumpy when he suggests that some other theory looks closer to the ultimate truth, while I get shot down as a heretic, when I first mentioned Skolfield way back. Oh well, I consider it all "pure joy" to suffer for Christ. I too am going to check out Earthquake Resurection, I pay attention when a reportedly godly man talks about us being past the 5th bowl/trumpet/seal. Seems to mesh with Skolfield at very first glance.
Have a great day!
